Game Critics

Marty Sliva absolutely incinerated in this video 😂

The most objective way to review something is by asking this: what is the most prominent aspect of this piece of media? Then you review that, instead of trying to quantify a bunch of details that may not be important in the grand scheme. That's why you can say that Nintendo games are a masterpiece, despite the fact that they aren't reall known for making good stories.

dont you dare talk shit about norbit

Im now here wondering why people treat game reviews as gospel

When they give Sparking Zero a 7, I came back to this video.

At least Middle School Connor knows that Specter Knight is peak

Preach! Turn Based Combat is a waste of time.

This is always topical

A new part in this series would be fascinating. As social discourse has skewed cultural discourse, reviews have become grounds for tribalism, and sites like IGN absolutely feed that fact for engagement. I don't think they'd post reviews beyond a score these days otherwise.

On another note, that final point is what I believe ultimately defines whether a critic is 'good' or not. Discussion of flaws should be contextualised in the greater discussion, rather than being their own points, unless they are particularly egregious. When I was a film critic, I had a publicist tell me the reason they always invited me to screenings and gave me interview access, despite the fact I worked for a small site that covered a wide range of topics, was because my articles reacted to the work without getting emotional. That Mario review does the opposite in the worst way. The guy lets his frustrations shape the review, then ends with a reaction to the work that reflects the zeitgeist (all Mario = good Mario) rather than his actual opinion. And he got paid for it, presumably. It's not only lazy work, it's entirely without value.

3D World is way the fuck better than 3D Land; what are you even on about?

I hope someday dunkey's soul will be rescued from the Gombo Dimenson

Middle School Conner is now College Conner

The meltdown game critics had when this video dropped was so embarrassing, and also was a wake up call to not trust game critics

I honestly like the Prince of Persia movie, it's entertaining. And the ending is fulfilling, not a complete dogshit waste of time.

Have you watched Man Of Steel?

Wait watch Ranma 1/2 first before you disregard Rumiko Takahashi’s work 😭😭 Inuyasha is ok, but Ranma 1/2 is special

My favorite thing about Dunkey is how concise he is. This topic could easily have been an hour long, carefully dissecting the topic and building a case with evidence. Instead we get snappy editing, one liners and good writing that gets the core of the argument accross in under 10 minutes. Perfect

Seeing all the same game journalism companies that seethed at this video now give Animal Well glowing reviews is the best full circle moment.

I dont understand peoples hesitancy to rate things lower than 7/10. Its not just critics, but even among my friends. if i say a movie or game was a 6/10 they assume i mean its complete garbage when i really mean its above average.
